Jarvis's journey is one of self-discovery, courage, and the relentless pursuit of freedom.


The Journey to 'The Escape Artist'


Re-invention, separation, salvation; the very idea of escape means different things to different people. For Ian Jarvis, leaving New Jersey and his ‘Nice Jewish boy' roots was only the beginning. At nineteen, he quit Georgetown University to cross the country in a Chevy truck, did some plum work as a drug dealer, escaped half a dozen FBI agents at an airport, and lived eight years as a federal fugitive in Paris, London, Ibiza, Corsica, and Morocco. Turning thirty, he broke out of exile in Europe and returned to the US to face the mess he left behind. Ian spends his first night in America inside Philadelphia’s, Roundhouse jail, beats a seven-year prison sentence, becomes a single parent to his estranged, eight-year-old daughter, and makes his way back on the rails of the American dream.
